Gareth Edwards
Edwards Garden Design & Maintenance has many years experience managing and maintaining gardens & estates; historic registered parks and gardens of national significance, large country estates, walled kitchen gardens, traditional orchards and wildflower meadows.
Regular grounds maintenance is part of the routine garden services provided by Gareth and his garden team.
Parkland trees, wildflower meadow management, heritage orchards, ancient hedgerows. In keeping with the tradition of the English Landscape Park, aka Repton and Capability Brown, the wider estate can be part of the designed landscape. The opportunity on private estates to manage the land in an ecologically sensitive way, creating habitat for a diversity of birds, bugs and plants, is something Gareth is particularly passionate about. His background in extensive habitat survey and assessment, coupled with decades worth of knowledge working with designed landscapes is ideal if you are looking for that elusive designed wilderness!
Gareth is a beekeeper, a proponent of natural beekeeping, where the focus is on ecology and habitat rather than intensive husbandry. More on this subject can be see on Gareth’s beekeeping blog.
